I've now ordered from Hayley Cakes and Cookies twice, and both experiences were fantastic. Even though they're based in Austin, they ship nationwide, which makes it really convenient if you're looking for custom cookies for an event or gift. Both times I ordered custom cookies, and the whole process was incredibly smooth. If you've ever ordered decorated cookies before, you know the process can sometimes feel complicated with designs, quantities, timelines, etc., but their team made it super easy from start to finish. What really stood out to me was the customer service. The staff were amazing and incredibly responsive, answering all of my questions and making sure everything was clear before placing the order. They made the entire experience feel effortless, which I really appreciated. And of course, the cookies themselves were beautifully decorated. The designs were clean, detailed, and exactly what I was hoping for. They're the kind of cookies that look almost too pretty to eat -- but once you do, you realize they taste great too. These are perfect for events, gifts, or special occasions, especially if you want something personalized that still feels high-quality and professional. Would I order again? Absolutely. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for another event or gift read more

What we ordered: cupcakes What we got instead: toppled over cupcakes with a fly trapped inside. My friend's first baby shower was supposed to be a joyful day celebrating with loved ones but was soiled by Hayley Cakes and Cookies by providing her with cupcakes containing a LIVING fly inside. She promptly reached out to request a solution but Hayley rebuffed any solution or accountability. Instead, they are blaming a pregnant woman. Yikes. Do business elsewhere! read more

I am extremely disappointed in Hayley's cupcakes. We ordered cupcakes for my friend's baby shower and the cupcakes were melted, the strawberry designs melted, and there was a fly on one of the cupcakes. I went to the establishment to get a refund and the person working on site said to send the company an email. She also said she would call on our behalf to get this issue expedited. After multiple emails and photo evidence, there has not been any communication on how to get a refund. I recommend going somewhere else and you can find a cheaper option. read more

The cookies are BEAUTIFUL. But that's about it, bc as beautiful as they are, they are BLAND and have zero taste or flavor. I'm a cookie junkie and am always searching for decorated cookies that also taste great. Jokes on me I guess because I didn't know they were meant to be purely decorative. So if you want cookies to impress a crowd, these will do it but taste wise, they're a total flop. read more

Delicious state of Texas cookies along with great design. Look forward to getting more of them.

I needed a birthday cake on super short notice, my friend texted me the morning before her boyfriend's birthday asking if I could help find one. After some quick research, I called Hayley's and they were a lifesaver! They had ready-to-go birthday cakes, and I picked up a 6-inch chocolate cake with a custom birthday message written around it. The cake was rich, moist, and full of chocolatey goodness. Everyone loved it! The shop itself has a really nice ambience. It's cozy, with plenty of seating if you want to hang out for a bit. They're mainly known for their decorated cookies, which looked amazing too. I'll definitely be going back to try those next time. read more

Loved their chocolate cake. Got a 6-inch for a birthdya and it was a last minute purchase and glad they helped us out and with a message on the cake as well. I wish they weren't very tall and the price was on the higher end. It was $65 for a 6-inch chocolate cake but the frosting was something to die for. It was so addictive! I would totally recommend this place! read more

First off Hayley is the sweetest ever!! The birthday cake she made my daughter was INCREDIBLE! I mean her face says it ALL!! I told her "my daughter loves all things pink, purple, sparkly, glitter, rainbows, flowers, princesses, unicorns, mermaids do whatever you like" and this is what she came up with. I mean seriously!! So amazing!! Plus it's the most DELICIOUS cookie cake you will ever eat. The cookie cake is so soft and delicious it's almost better than eating cookie dough and the frosting!!! Oh my gosh I could eat a full tub of it! 10/10 LOVE Hayley Cakes and will never enjoy a store bought cookie cake ever again. read more

These are the BEST cookies I have ever had. I am a sugar person, have been consuming it my whole life -- I know my sweets ... trust me. These cookies hit the spot without being overly sweet. Its the perfect amount of dough to icing. The designs are flawlessly amazing and get you in the holiday spirit if its that time. I have been getting Christmas cookies and this year I did a bunch of Halloween to bring a smile to my Mom's face and those who are lucky to get one HA! Cause I LOVE them soooo much. I have had her chocolate cookies as well ..... AMAZEBALLS!! AND I tried her gluten free ...... the BEST GLUTEN FREE COOKIE out there. You can't beat the taste. I order these cookies and they come individually wrapped packaged PERFECTLY for delivery of the best, perfect cookies!! What are you waiting for .... go get yours NOW read more

BEST cupcakes of ALL time! Most cupcake spots have 2-3 good flavors. All the flavors were delicious and different. We loved the churro, cookie dough, red velvet, chocolate, bday/confetti, lemon and razzle dazzle. We froze 2 of them and once you defrost them they still take moist and delicious. Very friendly staff. We went in around 2pm on a Friday and there was an excellent selection. Cannot wait to get more cupcakes. read more

How much do I love Hayley Cakes? I bought her cookbook. I get her cookies (instead of cake) every year for my birthday. I LOVE Hayley Cakes. When you walk in here, be ready to be dazzled by the huge selection of scrumptious cookies, cupcakes, brownies, blondies, I could go on, but you get it, right? (My mouth is watering thinking about this place) If I want to cheer someone up, or just make them smile, and I don't feel like baking, this is my go to spot. If you haven't been to one of her locations (did I mention Hayley is a local gall, raised in Austin - show the support, y'al!), stop in and give it a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

We're super displeased with the end result of our cake. The communication was robotic and practically non-existent throughout the entire process. We supplied them with our vision and it came out amateurish and rushed. They talked us into a bigger cake to "make the car look more detailed", which you can't tell if it is or not because they covered it with flames across 95% of the cake, when they were just supposed to be in the background. We asked to see samples or mock ups and were told no because the cake wasn't done yet. Then when we requested changes afterwards, we were told it was "too late and no changes could be made at this point". Absolutely not worth anywhere near $170 and the customer service was just not there. read more

I ordered a set of Taylor Swift cookies to use on a birthday cake I was making for my granddaughter. When I went to pick them up they said one of the cookies had broken and, of course, it was one of the main ones. I was told that I could choose a replacement cookie that they had in stock. There were none that would work. I paid alot for these cookies and should not have broken ones. I felt that their lack of concern was overwhelming. I will not order from them again. read more

Yum! This place was so athletically pleasing, and so were their baked goods! Not only were they cute, they tasted delicious. The gluten free strawberry cupcake was very moist (not dry whatsoever, which is quite a feat!). The best part was the icing. It was so packed with flavor - I couldn't believe how good it was. My friends liked their cookies and gluten filled cupcakes. They also enjoyed shopping there! Tons of cute stuff. All and all a great place that I would recommend visiting. The staff were super nice, which made my cupcake even sweeter! read more

Even when coming here right before they close, they always have a few yummy treats left! Hayley's is a life saver - always my go-to for birthday treats and cute food gifts. Whether it's a custom order or just a drop-in for a treat, they've got you. The ladies working are always so nice to me and very helpful when I'm between options (often more than 1). It's a cute little shop off Lamar & I love coming in for the selections. read more

If you haven't had a cookie from this place then where do you get your cookies because I want to know. They can be better than Hayley's! I don't eat a lot of sweets BUT these cookies are out of this world. I am a teacher and we decorated cookies as part of our winter party this year. Lo and behold but didn't the parent in charge of cookies get Hayley's cookies!!! The kids didn't care where the cookies were from because all they saw was the jars of frosting and sprinkles!! LOL. There were some kids absent from school that day so lucky me there were extra cookies. I didn't even add frosting. I just ate it plain and it was so yummy! After the cookie crumbs were cleared and the last of the kids gave me goodbye hugs and their parents gave me well wishes for a good break...I spied it on the counter. I spied a white box. I opened the box and inside were the extra cookies. Happy Merry Everything to me!! I brought home the cookies and put them in the freezer for a rainy day or just any day and I'm feeling my sweet tooth! read more

Hayley Cakes And Cookies - Yummy sugar cookies ready to be eaten! - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Whenever I visit Austin, I have to stop by Hayley Cakes and Cookies. I first found them on IG and loved their cookie decorating videos. They were so playful and cute and the shop definitely reflects that. It's always so hard deciding, which cookie designs to get as there are so many to choose from. It's also fun just admiring the decorating skills and the works of art. I opted for a Chick-Fil-A themed mini sugar cookies and a cowboy jacket one. Their cupcakes are also rich and decadent with a crisp outside and a moist and tender inside. The only reason why I'm knocking one star off is the service. The worker helping us was not the friendliest and it seemed like she didn't want to be there. Maybe she just needed her morning coffee, but I believe good customer service goes a long way. read more

I've been ordering my birthday cakes from Haley Cakes for the past 3 years and have always been happy with the results until this year. I went online as usual to request a custom birthday cake, and after receiving the quote (before the payment deadline), I called to request a small change just to add extra wording on the cake. I wanted to check if this would affect the price before paying, but when I called, I was told they could no longer fulfill the order. This was surprising and frustrating because I contacted them before the deadline. I explained that, but it didn't matter to them the only response I got was that "we're too busy." I understand being busy, but this lack of flexibility and care for returning customers was disappointing. After 3 years of consistently ordering from them, this experience has made it clear that customer loyalty isn't valued. Once I find a new bakery, I won't be giving Haley Cakes my business again. read more

Ordered a cake that I specified was to be used as part of a birthday photoshoot & what they brought out was nothing like what I had asked for and it honestly looked like a child had decorated it. I provided multiple inspiration images & notes on what I wanted for the cake. I'm perfectly aware that since these inspiration cakes were not made by Hayley Cakes that I could not expect them to look exactly the same & just wanted them to pick & choose aspects they thought they would be able to execute well, but what they tried to give me was completely sloppy & looked terrible. The image line work & colors were awful AND the spacing between the art was random (some of the doodles were touching and overlapping each other & others had random segments of blank space in between). I'm honestly speechless & mystified at how they were prepared to give out a cake that looked like this especially since I've seen the quality work that this bakery does for their clients. If they felt like they weren't able to do the designs that I submitted (some of which weren't elaborate or complicated at all), then they should've disclosed that after I submitted the inquiry or contacted me about it at any point of the process. The only reason why I'd even rate this place 1 star is because the people who were working there today (10/21) were great. They completely understood that this cake was not acceptable and even though their cake decorators had already gone home, they got a cookie decorator to scrape the cake clean and redo it (I attached a picture of the cake after it was redone). I waited in store and she was able to redo it in about an hour. Given the time frame I was very happy with the fix, but given what I paid for it and thought I'd be receiving, it's still not worth the money I had paid when I submitted the cake quote inquiry. Totally stressful experience & I'm very glad that I had enough time to sit and wait for them to redo the cake before the birthday photoshoot. read more

Stopped in to grab a cookie after breakfast next door. Its been a long time since I have been treated so rudely by a sales clerk. No greeting when we walked in. Had to ask for help. Was grunted at when order was placed. No reason to come back to a business that is ungrateful for their customers purchasing overpriced cookies that tasted like baking soda. read more

Had some guest coming into to town so I ordered the mini Texas cookie pack. Each pack came with 4 cookies and the designs were wonderfully done. These tiny cookies were so cute!!! My only "issue" was that when I was talking to the staff, I asked for the cookies to be wrapped individually, as I was giving them to multiple people, but they weren't. Other than that Hayley's was great and will definitely be ordering from them again! read more

I can't believe this is the first time I'm visiting but I've really been missing out - well, no longer! I was craving sugar and Hayley was the closest spot still open. How lucky! The store is so cute so I wish I could've sat in and admired it more - one day! The girl behind the counter was doing an excellent job of maintaining calmness and friendliness while being efficient on a busy day leading up to a holiday weekend. The cookies are decorated so creative, adorable and attractive. I opted for a gluten-free cupcake - and honestly, I'm not even a cupcake fan (I know), but this one was so incredible. It was moist, delicious and the frosting, which I usually wipe out, was actually flavorful! They use almond flour for the gluten free option and it was baked to perfection. You know what else is worth mentioning -- the really sturdy box it comes in! It didn't shake or mess up the top while driving back home with it because there's a cupcake holder that locks it in place. They've thought of everything! I'm impressed, needless to say. read more

We came in from out of town. Kind of just exploring austin. Hayleys kind of just caught our eye! We sure are glad we came in! As soon as we entered the staff greeted us kindly! Feels very at home. Love the decor and vibe. All the sweets looks so delicious! In the end we chose the heath carmel buttercream brownie and soft sugar cookie. Both were so fresh and delicious very flavorful and light, and not just sweet and typical pastry. We chose to sit in and they gifted a suprise Valentines give away! Would recommend this place 10/10! They also had a cookie cake where you could design and decorate your own cake! Pretty cool! They gice you every thing you need to decorate it with. Will definitely come back when we come back to ATX! read more

Wanna first-hand experience the absolute Worst customer service in the 2023 bakery industry game? Look no further than Hayley's! my entire experience couldn't have been more superficial, apathetic, & un-personable - and that's under the circumstances that a friend referred me to these guys... This business' biggest downfall: Hayley's Bakery does not pay a human person to answer their damn telephone. for A BAKERY! HOWWWWW?!?! wut. where tf am i??? You cannot place your order over the phone; you must do it online. You cannot speak directly to anyone physically working, located in the bakery. Rather, if you call Hayley's Bakery, you are at the bloody mercy of a phone tree system, and speaking directly to any one from the company is *NOT* an option. i never celebrate my birthday. i can't accurately tell you how long it's been since i've had a birthday cake on my birthday. that said, this very specifically ordered birthday cake was meant to make my 35th milestone bday special. Even though i made it very transparent and clear in my order notes (as pictured, via their online ordering system) that i NEEDED for them to call me to discuss what i wanted and needed out of my cake order, i never got a single call from Hayley's Bakery. to this day. not a 1 call. On the scheduled pickup day for my birthday cake, i called Hayley's around 4:15p, N/A, so i left them a voicemail letting them know a friend would be picking up my paid-for cake on my behalf. This friend of mine tried calling the bakery herself as well to ensure that someone would still be there at the bakery by the time she got there, which was 3 minutes after closing, or at the very worst, that an employee could throw it outside of their front doors / on their doorstep so that my $85 cake could be retrieved by my friend a mere few minutes later...all of which, we not only suggested, but pleaded & requested, they do for me in the voicemails we left them...but, NOPE. NADA. N/A ALL DAY @ HAYLEY'S BAKERY ! Allllllll of this because they choose to make the business decision to NOT have a business phone line that is consistently, solely answered by an in-house employee HUMAN, who is physically present at the bakery where the goods are made & picked up from... I called the bakery after my sour-inducing, 35th-birthday-cake-less party and experience, and actually did get to speak to the vice president by chance, not per my request, i'll just make that clear! Ofc, i explained the entire context etc to him, and he chose to savagely respond that their open hours of operation are stated on their website, so neither a partial nor full refund would be given to me......a blatant lack of self-awareness, and a blatant lack of care for the sensitive context of your paying customer's transaction with your business, which is the very nature of the bakery industry that you cherry-picked for yourself, so what the hell are y'all over at Hayley's Bakery even doing, or tryin to do??? TLDR; Hayley's Bakery is no better of a business than blind highway robbery. i was completely robbed of not only the $85 for the cake itself, the $20 custom cake topper i created for its purpose from Etsy, and having a milestone cake for my special birthday occasion, but was also robbed of the fruitless time, energy, and effort put into designing & creating the cake itself for my themed party. if there's any good news, i guess it's that Hayley's Bakery has every chance & opportunity now to CHANGE their absurd business model for a bakery in 2023 to HAVE & MAINTAIN A PHONE LINE CONNECTING YOUR CUSTOMERS TO A BREATHING EMPLOYEE PHYSICALLY AT THE BAKERY, AT THAT TIME ! jeeze louiseeeeee #havemercy the fact as a consumer nowadays that i have to consult a bakery on this basic, foundational BIZ 101 bs...get it together, Hayley's! for all of us, including urself read more

The cookies are delicious. But service is dismal. Last Christmas, I placed a cookie order with names written on each cookie to be used as place cards. The week of Christmas they informed me they were unable to fill the order. Again for Thanksgiving, the same thing happened. I placed the order - was told that I needed to select from stock on which the names could be written AND the exact same thing happened. After telling me that the order was confirmed, they called today and said it could not be filled. Really? If you want a cookie, its a great place to walk in and purchase a premade cookie. However, if you want anything that's not in the case - cakes, cookies, anything - be prepared to be told at the LAST minute that the order will not be filled. I've been a customer for years but no more after today. They did not even try to rectify the situation. Bad customer service. read more

Fun and festive cupcakes and cookies! I loved all the designs of each of the cupcakes. They were all decorated differently to match the theme of the season, Halloween. As well the flavors of the cake and icing marry well together. I look forward to seeing what they come up with for the next seasons. If you want a fun treat to surprise someone, this is a great place to stop into. I do advise ordering ahead because they were swamped when I stopped by. read more

They also have brownies, breads, cakes and cinnamon rolls. I have to watch the gluten in my diet and they have a few gluten-free options which I highly recommend. The chocolate chip cookies and cupcakes are excellent and sat well with me. No upset stomach after consuming these items.

It was a delicious, not dry chocolate chip cookie base with an absolutely perfect layer of frosting (decorated perfectly).
